Was anyone else as uncomfortable as I was...

If the guys a racer he's ok by me! Gotta admit, he doesn't mess around, he went out and got the best so he could have bad fast race cars! Not to mention he's giving alotta people a job. Thats money coming back into the US economy and even better in Drag Racing! I bet their dragstrip in Qatar is pretty nice! Maybe someday IHRA will have a national event there :P

I will give the Sheik some credit
I did not see any Stickers on either of his cars.
He's not racing for the money,The guy loves Drag Racing.
I have heard this from a friend of mine who crews for Mike Castalano

Maybe he could buy NHRA and save us sportsman racers

..the intent of my post was to point out the seriously awkward moment when Gerould was telling Larry he was not going to be in the "show"...That was sooo ****ed up ..his team didn't inform him this was the only chance to qualify, do what you can to get from A to B..he had to learn about the qualifying format change from an ESPN commentator...New team chemistry blues. It's no secret they will have success this season and so on.

The rest of you all just calm the **** down before someone gets their feeling hurt.

If you want to feel bad for someone how about us sportsman racers who only had one qualifying run and were barely on the schedule the rest of the weekend. Because there was only one run (except stock who got two) some guys didn't get a run. Welcome to our world Larry!!!

He could probably buy NHRA, IHRA, NASCAR, and the state of California but he's not that crazy. He is here having fun like the rest of us wished we could do and loves drag racing. Drag racing is supposed to be FUN and not life and death. ONLY in America does a person get to really persue his or her dreams. Im glad he decided to spend his money here in the U.S.A. mostly on AMERICAN made equiptment.

We need all the teams we can get on the circuit, and it happens to benefit our economy a little bit too. We should be applauding these guys.
